Verdict

NEW YORK CITY (NAP) had little to do to land the odds in a Navan maiden then stepped up in grade to land a Listed contest over an extra half-furlong back there from Straight Answer. He's progressing fast and can confirm the form with Ger Lyons' charge though it looks close between the pair. The latter's yard is also represented by Beauty Inspire, unbeaten in two starts last summer including a Curragh Group 3. Twilight Jet was in fine shape all last summer culminating in a Newmarket Group 3 victory though he hasn't run since the Breeders' Cup in November.
